Most studies point out that most people with Autism Spectrum Disorder are more likely to be victims rather than perpetrators. Why did some scientists create the term "Criminal autistic Psychopathy"? It kind of sounds ableist, to be honest.
Those outdated articles are found in Google Scholar and they seem legit. I hope you understand where I come from.
It could be that we are more likely to be very easily brainwashed or manipulated into committing crimes without mans rea and malicious intent. But it does not happen all the time and criminal or antisocial behavior related to Autism Spectrum Disorder is not malicious and is completely different than Antisocial Personality Disorder for example.

https://ufv.arcabc.ca/islandora/object/ufv%3A37837/I read somewhere a high proportion of serial killers have autistic traits if you look on google you should be able to find an article confirming that.
It’s statistics and how they are told. For example -
nearly all rapists are men but hardly any men are rapists
Likewise many serial killers have autistic traits but hardly any autistic people are serial killers.
Sometimes you get clueless attention seekers or those who can’t do maths misrepresent stats for their own reasons
